JCECE 2025 Expected Cutoff by Course or Stream (General Category)
The expected cutoff for JCECE 2025 varies by course. Engineering (B.Tech) has the highest expected percentile range, while B.P.Ed has the lowest.
- For Engineering (B.Tech), the expected percentile range is 93-95%, and the estimated cutoff score is 85-90 out of 300. Candidates must target marks of 100+ so that they may get a seat in government engineering colleges.
- For B.Sc (Hons) Agriculture, the expected percentile range is 87-90%, with 70-80 marks as the expected cutoff. It is still a good option among candidates of science stream, and top agriculture colleges in Jharkhand experience steady demand.
- For the case of B.Sc (Hons) Forestry, there is an expected cutoff of 85-88% with marks ranging between 65-75. The demand for this course is medium, and hence it is moderately easy to get into in comparison to agriculture or engineering courses.
- The B.Tech (Agriculture Engineering) stream should see a cutoff of 83-86%, with scores ranging from 60-70 marks. The institute-wise variation is not huge, but as a general rule, this stream is less competitive than pure engineering streams.
- For B.Tech (Dairy Technology), the cut-off is marginally lower, 82-85% percentile with 58-68 marks. It has moderate interest and fewer applications, so it can be a good option for candidates.
- The B.F.Sc (Fisheries Science) stream has a probable percentile of 80-84%, and the candidates require approximately 55-65 marks. While there are a limited number of seats, the demand is moderate, so this course is feasible for average-mark candidates.
- For B.Sc (Hons) Horticulture, the expected cutoff is as in the case of fisheries and agriculture courses, that is, between 78-83% with a score ranging from 52-64 marks. It has moderate popularity, especially among the rural or agri-based candidates.
- Veterinary Science (B.V.Sc & A.H) is one of the most popular non-engineering courses in JCECE. The expected percentile is 90-93%, and 78-85 marks are required.
- The BHMS course has a comparatively lower cut-off, ranging around 75-80% percentile with 48-60 marks.
Finally, B.P.Ed (Bachelor of Physical Education) has the least cutoff, which is between 70-78% percentile and 45-55 marks are expected.
